Why Travelers Love Alba Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Absolutely loved my experience at Alba! The food was outstanding — beautifully presented and full of flavour — but what really made the evening special was the service. The staff were so attentive, helpful, and genuinely accommodating. A special mention to Dikshant, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His professionalism and warmth truly elevated the whole dining experience. Highly recommend Alba for anyone looking for great food paired with exceptional service. What an incredible evening! From start to finish, Alba exceeded every expectation not just with its exquisite Japanese cuisine, but also with the warm, genuine hospitality that truly made the night special. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile by Charles, the manager, who immediately set the tone for the rest of our visit. Charles went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Throughout the evening, Charles checked in at just the right moments always attentive, never intrusive. He offered thoughtful recommendations, explained the dishes with genuine enthusiasm. It was clear he takes pride in creating a personal, memorable experience for every guest. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each dish felt carefully crafted, and every bite was a delight. Combined with such exceptional service, the entire experience felt like something truly special. Charles is a rare kind of manager professional, passionate, and full of heart. Thanks to him and the wonderful team, we had a flawless evening. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks also to James, for his kindness and professionalism. Alba, a contemporary Asian fusion cuisine by Chef @chistyakov . Sleek decor and ambiance with dark wooden textures. Service was friendly and professional. The food was good with few dishes standing out like the beef curry Katsu.

Love the food here. It’s a Japanese fusion food. We had the lamb and sushi and it was amazing! The salmon tasted very fresh, like what I used to have in Japan. The service from Twinkle and James is exceptional.

We went for the newly launched Lazy Breakfast and it was a great experience. The food was top notch and Mark cheerfully explained the dishes that were on this set menu. My favourites were Salmon Tamagoyaki, King Crab Tostada, Bacon Okonomiyaki and the Curry Wagyu Sando. Yuzu Toast was the best way to end the delightful meal on a sweet note. Shoutout to Mark for the excellent service. A perfect way to enjoy a relaxed Sunday
